Whit will never have to pay for another meal in Columbia again. As Coach Tanner said at the CLA when the team arrived back home after winning our first National Championship in a major men's sport..."Whit Merrifield fired the shot heard around the world for all of Gamecock Nation."
So many, but at the moment, Wingo has to be at the top of my list. He was nails, and the last few innings vs. UF in the 2011 CWS are almost funny to watch he was so ridiculous.

When I was 3 and broke my arm I was in the hospital next to Kent Hagood. He signed my cast. I know I had a Kent Hagood jersey, not sure if my parents had it specially made.
Stephon Gilmore.
His signing was one of the most crucial commitments in modern Gamecock history. The dominos fell our way after that.
Holloman and Swearinger were camp buddies with Gilmore and flipped from Clemson and/or UNC after he committed. After that, Gilmore became a key recruiter to get Lattimore here, and eventually Gilmore, Lattimore, and Holloman would play a big role in getting Clowney here.
He was heavily recruited by Alabama and I remember everybody thinking that's where he was going. His commitment was huge for so many reasons. If Gilmore doesn't commit, who knows what the past 6 years would have looked like?

That 2009 game is the one that got away. Could've been 4 in a row against those mutts
For Player, Cleveland Pinkney, he was a big time recruit for us when weren't so hot, and helped the turnaround. Really good payer and underrated all time Gamecock.
Was at the UGA game in '84. Remember his name scrolling across the screen continuously. I was in 5th grade. Thought it meant "Ha. We did something Good." There were no prima donnas in those days.
